Bastard baronets

The Bastard Baronetcy, of Kitley in the County of Devon, was a title intended to be created in the Baronetage of Great Britain in September 1799 for William Bastard (1727–1782) in recognition of his actions in saving the arsenal of Plymouth from a French fleet in August of that year. The title was gazetted but Bastard declined to assume it and it did not ever pass the Great Seal.
